Component Two- Media Forms And Products In Depth- Magazines.
Layout/ design:
In this magazine, the "terroriser", the main focus of the front cover is the image of the man who looks angry and has his arms crossed while making a hand gesture.
The inside of the magazine has a basic and easy to read layout, with large images to tie to the text as well as a good amount of text. There are also several advertisements for things such as CD's.
Font size, type, colour and connotations:
The font used for the titles in the magazine has been used in a way that supports the genre of the magazine. The sans serif font is large and bold on the page, clearly showing what the magazine is selling or trying to draw the audiences attention to. The font used for the main body of text is simple and easy to read and uses a combination of serif and sans serif fonts.
Images/photographs (Shot type, angle and focus):
The image on the front cover of this magazine is a close up portrait of the man from a band call "Kreator." The caption which has been paired with this image "Mille's looking for inner peace." it contrast with the image because the man, Miland 'Mille' Petrozza, looks big, tough and angry.
Mise-en-scene (Colour, lighting, location, costumes/dress, hair and make-up):
The colour of the background on the front cover has been used to put across connotations of blood and death. As well as this, the colours used inside the magazine are mainly black or a dark shade of colours such as green and purple.
Language and lexis:
The cover of the magazine, as well as many of the articles inside, used violent language such as the names of the bands featured in the magazine, "Gnaw their tongues" and "suicidal tendencies." The names of these bands link to the genre and overall theme of the magazine, giving off connotations of anger and violence.
Anchorage of images and text:
Some of the images used inside the magazine, such as the one on page 32 of the band "Root" have been anchored by one of the questions asked in their interview, "Do you think it is the end?" the large green font on the black background stands out and makes the reader look at it before reading anything else. The answer for this question "I want to die singing on stage- that's the right way for a musician to go." has been shown in a smaller white font against a black background, which has again been used to make the information stand out to the audience and make them focus on the main message of this interview.
